NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court has rejected Mahyco Monsanto Biotech India's plea to put on hold the Centre's cotton price control order that mandates a panel to fix the maximum price for Bt cotton seeds.

On Friday, the court issued a notice on the application moved by Monsanto and allowed the government time to file its counter affidavit to the application before March 4, which is the next date of hearing, officials said.
